Re: If He Was Healthy, Would You Re-sign...........

If I were to look at this JONeal question in a vacuum...ignore injury concerns, inability to stay on the floor for extended period of time ( for various reason ), whatever past history that he and Bird/FO has that may taint the relationship and a multitude of reasons....and look at JONeal only as a decent to solid scorer that is still a solid Interior presence while expecting him to ONLY play Backup Center minutes ( as in whatever minutes that Mahinmi plays )...then I would have been be okay with signing JONeal last season. But as many have pointed out....there is a multitude of reasons as to why JONeal shouldn't be signed.

This is David West, he is the Honey Badger, West just doesn't give a *****....he's pretty bad *ss cuz he has no regard for any other Player or Team whatsoever.

Re: If He Was Healthy, Would You Re-sign...........

He just had wrist surgery...likely wont be back this season...before the surgery when he played this year and last he was better than Mahinmi as a backup center...that being said....NO....and I think Larry Bird would rather suit up for the Lakers than bring JO back...

he hasn't been able to hold together for a long time now. you have to realize that whatever time he gives you will be very short before something else happens and he is unavailable for an extended period, possibly the entire season.
we need guys who aren't so fragile.

Re: If He Was Healthy, Would You Re-sign...........

I am 42 years old and have followed the team since 1993 and I would welcome JO closing our his career here. I respect what he did here, I really admire him for asking to be pulled in the game he set his career high so he would not break Reggie's record in a game that had been decided. I expected to hate him, they traded DD for this kid are you kidding me! But around him they rebuilt a pretty damn good team that could have won a title were it not for meta world headcase. Maybe my memory is bad but didn't he punch those two idiots because he thought they were coming after Reggie?

I don't care if he actually plays, he can be the 15th guy just there to cheer from the bench but I would love to see him retire as a Pacer.

Every time I see or hear this it just really gets under my skin...because its not really what happened...he went after the record...missed a couple late free throws...Pacers are up 15 with like two minutes to go and they leave him in coming out of a timeout....he gets the ball, shoots-doesnt pass- and misses....only after that did he come out...

Re: If He Was Healthy, Would You Re-sign...........

How many threads, over how many years, do we have to have on this subject?

It was either this or a "Granger for Eric Gordon" trade speculation thread.
